BookWalker Global is partnering with Crossed Hearts to expand its catalog with the publisher's titles. Six manga chapters are available at launch, including You're Way Too Cheeky, Chigaya-kun! and OctoPiece. More titles, including Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion novels, will arrive through late 2026 to early 2027.
The first wave of Crossed Hearts titles is live now. Six manga have chapters available at launch: Mai Ando's You're Way Too Cheeky, Chigaya-kun!, Mitomo Sasako's OctoPiece, Dodo's The Abandoned Villainess Became a Zombie, Mei Fujimatsu and Satsuki Haru's Afternoon Tea for Two, Mei Fujimatsu's Time is a Closet, and TaaRO's Borrowing your Textbook.
The next batch lands through late 2026 to early 2027. That slate includes Akisuke's The Executioner of Grenimal, Amamiya Satsuki and Nishine Hanami's The Matchmaker's Fiancée, Komari Kuro's All-Rounder Maid Connie Wille, Yuhi Shinome's A Gaze Like Lightning, Yakei Hiragai's The Bird in the Cage Dreams, Chikuwabu Tanno's The King of Owls and His Troubled Attendant, An Chanoki's Until We Fall in Love, and Milcha's Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion novels.
The expansion follows BookWalker's March relaunch, which moved English-language manga and light novels to a rebuilt website, apps, and reader with the LCP DRM system. BookWalker Global changed ownership from BookWalker Co., Ltd. to M12 Media LLC in March 2025.
